191-0308-24NancyDeFeo

"I am thrilled that Nancy decided to join our Ridgewood office," said Aloysius Donohue, a managing partner at the firm. "Nancy works hard and she understands the business but her greatest attributes are probably her thorough knowledge of the town of Ridgewood and her incredible networking skills. Nancy is an excellent match for the environment and culture here at Marron Gildea & Donohue and we expect big things from her."

DeFeo is an eleven-year resident of Ridgewood. She has years of successful real estate experience in Northern New Jersey working both in sales and office administration.

Having lived in several Ridgewood neighborhoods gives Nancy a unique perspective that she shares freely with her customers. In addition, raising her family in Ridgewood, with her two oldest sons graduating Ridgewood High School and her youngest currently at Ridge, gives Nancy personal knowledge of the Ridgewood school system that is so important to prospective buyers.

DeFeo enjoys the low key environment at Marron Gildea & Donohue. She says the other agents and management are extremely supportive and positive but they are never over-bearing and they never pressure her. "When I was working at another firm I would read these stories about Marron Gildea & Donohue being like a family and wonder if that was really how it was or if that was just creative spin," says DeFeo. "Now that I am here I see that it truly is a family environment where information flows freely between agents and management and everyone supports one another - like a family."

A native New Englander, Kathy attended Lafayette College in Pennsylvania. Upon graduation, she pursued a career in sales and marketing at leading financial institutions across the globe, from Boston and New York to Sydney, Australia. Kathy frequently draws on skills learned in the corporate world in her work as an effective real estate professional.

Lops seems to take the awards and accolades in stride and prefers to credit her company, clients and coworkers for her success. “The management and agents here really work as a team and they have helped me so much since I joined the MGD family,” said Lops. “I’ve also been lucky to work with some incredibly wonderful clients who continue to refer their friends and family to me.” Lops says the market continues to be challenging but notes a recent upswing in the number of clients looking at homes and making offers. She is looking forward to a busy Spring.
